3rd badger in 12months

on the a55 this morning i run over my 3rd welsh badger in 12 months ,i have had a few misses as well.never seen so many .personally find the 34 tonne volvo at 56mph with a load of audi cars puts them flat

Last year i thought there was a lot of badger road kills in the Galloway area! This year there seems to be at least twice as many! the population is expanding at a hellova rate! No natural predaters and all the sets are registered! so i suppose we shall have to be alert for them at night!

I wondered who the marksman was!, I also have Badger hits in the trucks, but the most shocking was one that chose to pass under a Sherpa minibus I once owned, shook the van to it's core, bent the steps on the towing rig........... It then carried on its way!!!!!!

Not so many road kills as I've seen in the past, though we did have a near miss driving home a few nights ago... But... I reckon badger numbers around here are now at an all time high.

Incidentally, and just out of curiosity.... How can ALL badger setts possibly be "registered"?

For instance, I know of one sett dug quite recently that I'm pretty sure no-one else can possibly know about it, unless they've been contravening the Land Reform (Scotland) Act 2003, as it's located in an area, belonging to me, to which "access rights" do not extend.
